A mail transport agent tells you to not do it - so don't do it!  ;-)
This is like the signs that say that you should not cross that
bridge with a truck heavier than some weight.  Don't do it!

Either that or you have some filter installed that does it. Try
which procmail | which mailagent | which filter
and check .procmailrc or the like for a recipe that bounces mail > 100k. You
might also want to ask your sysadmin to give you more diskspace for your
inbox. ALTHOUGH files this size ought to be handled via ftp...

Naaah - brute force never really works. If you have a nice line, send him
the X-sources. They're free and fun to read, especially when you have them 4
or 5 or ... times in your inbox.

Cheers,
Robin
